On September 18, 2026, the University of Danang - VN-UK Institute for Research and Executive Education (UD-VNUK), successfully hosted the Induction Day - MA TESOL 2026 to warmly welcome new graduate students to the Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (MA TESOL) program.

Overview of the program

According to Dr. Nguyen Hiep, Dean of UD-VNUK, MA TESOL is an international joint master's training program between VNUK and Nottingham Trent University (NTU), United Kingdom.

Introduction to the MA TESOL 2026 Program

This serves as a solid foundation and springboard for English language teaching professionals across various educational levels from primary and secondary schools to universities and postgraduate institutions to develop their competencies and creative thinking, and to reach global standards. This is especially significant given the context and policy of "making English the second language in schools."

Students networking

During the program, students were given a comprehensive overview of the curriculum, study plan, and engagement activities with faculty members and experts. Valuable insights and practical experiences shared by alumni who are now MA TESOL holders, along with orientation sessions, helped students map out their study and research roadmaps, preparing them well for the journey ahead.
